A 50m steel tape is used to measure the distance of the line and found to be 842.25m. During measurement, the tape is supported at the ends and midpoint under a pull of 8 kg and the observed mean temperature is 28 °C. The tape is of standard length at 22 °C and a tension of 12 kg. The cross section area of the tape is 0.032cm?. The coefficient of the thermal expansion is 0.0000116/°C and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0x10 kg/cm2 the tape weighs 1.1kg. Determine the correct length of the tape. Rules: 1. For significant figures and rounding off numbers, provide only the numerical value for the answer. 2. For all the computed values with decimals, use four (4) digits after the decimal.
